Talentscouting

It is true that school grades are important.
But they don‘t tell you much about a school-leaver’s hidden talents and abilities or about the things she or he is truly passionate about. Our scouts have embarked on a mission to search for those, as yet frequently undetected, talents.

„Berufskolleg Witten is the first school where I was deployed as a talent scout. I took up my assignment very enthusiastically, and I have not been disappointed. The Berufskolleg is a highly diverse school, both in terms of its educational programmes and in terms of its student body that is made up of people of all ages as well as educational and family backgrounds. Consequently, working here is immensely interesting and exciting. Most importantly, it’s also crowned by success, because my work is embedded into a well-appointed advisory team in-house. Talent scouting thus complements the services provided by school counsellors, social workers and career consultants, with whom I closely collaborate.“

„My younger brother took his A-levels at Hans-Böckler-Berufskolleg; I attended the school across the street. I’m therefore very familiar with the ins and outs at the Berufskolleg, which is why it was my school of choice. I soon realised that one thing hasn’t changed: the Berufskolleg does all it can to provide extracurricular opportunities and point out career perspectives to its students. I’m very glad to be involved in such a dedicated advisory team. The school’s diverse educational programmes prove very helpful: delicious treat served at events, for example, are supplied by students of home economics, while arts and media students provide creative designs for information leaflets. Everything runs more than smoothly.“

„The Alice-Salomon-Berufskolleg was the school where I had a particularly gratifying experience: that Berufskolleg was the first school that I mentored in my capacity as talent scout; it was attended by the first school-leaver whom I’d help find his degree of choice, plus a Studienpioniere grant. What else is there to be expected from a school that, thanks to its number of students, is the largest one in Bochum?!“
